In GNU Emacs 18.58.1 of Wed Apr 8 1992 on yoyo (berkeley-unix) A while back someone at Berkeley locally hacked Emacs so that when you visited a file that was unwriteable or you used find-file-read-only, Emacs automatically visited the file in View mode. I thought this was a pretty neat idea. I'm in favor of making making this the default, but understand that it's a matter of taste.
